Available rental properties in Wimbledon Town

By Lars Smith


For those seeking a prestigious address, Wimbledon is professional location with a sprawling common reaching to Putney Vale. Wimbledon has a mix of properties including traditional villas, cottages, semi-detached homes, townhouses, apartments and flats. With a village feel, homes surrounding the green areas of the common dictate the highest prices.

Connected via a hill, Wimbledon has two distinct sections. The village area is close to the common with boutique stores and cosy alleyways while busy Wimbledon Town Broadway is the commercial centre. From Wimbledon Town Broadway there is connecting tramline across south London along with tube and train stations. It is here you will also find plenty of shops, cafes, bars and theatre options.

Property in Wimbledon Town averages between lb400 and lb500 per square foot, equating to house prices from around lb250,000. Square footage in the village cost as much as twice this price, on par with areas such as Marylebone in central London.

Wimbledon has seen an increase in interest from buyers looking to move from expensive areas of London to ensure they get more space for their money. Only a short commute into central London, either Tube or train can access Wimbledon in 20 minutes, although driving may encounter traffic during rush hour.

With a rise in reverse conversions, whereby a home once split into flats is being restored to a family home there is a consistent flow of "tear down" projects. This is where previously outdated properties are being demolished and a new home built using the same plot of land.

It is quite rare to find new homes, therefore the launch of two bigger projects pre-tennis are very welcome. Previously new homes have tended to be infill schemes or one off homes making them extremely rare.

For a mix of both contemporary and traditional styles, Wimbledon Hill Park is a new development, formerly known as the Atkinson Morley Hospital. Now home to 94 properties in a walled estate and 25 acres of grounds, eight executive homes offering roof terraces and large spaces for entertaining are to be unveiled this weekend. The next phase will be 26 apartments located in the restored hospital.

Within prime location, close to Wimbledon's highly rated schools, Wimbledon Village overlooks King's College School on the foundations of a former convent. This will be London Square's debut development with architecture based around traditional garden squares. With a prestigious collection of ten properties all individually designed, this is a highly sought out address in the area.

Fairlawns is a converted mansion, located by Wimbledon Parkside and now home to 10 apartments. Marryat Place is close to prestigious All England Tennis Club and consists of six homes with one vehicle off-street parking.

An Edwardian mansion complete with half-acre plot, Lampton House is a large property in Wimbledon. Boasting a glazed atrium and sunken garden room at ground level all completely refurbished.

With a mixed-use scheme including shops, offices and shared ownership properties Chorus is a 60 home property development at the end of the Broadway.
